One of my great failings (and there are many) is that I am very forgetful. Things not constantly put before me just slip away into the fog, I'm afraid. By all means, annoy away!

But like I said, kind of an abuse of position, ya know? I'm here to help Jeff now, not annoy him about the same stuff as two months ago. What, you wanna get me fired? :-) Believe me, the list had a good chunk of requests for animal-human hybrid stuff. But like I said, kind of an abuse of position, ya know?

(You'll need two for masking.) Then I used the MaleMilitary upper legs and masked them into just the right positions to appear in different positions, even with the unmoving pants. With a few coloring differences, it made the right leg look further behind than the left. The feet were carefully arranged sets of flying boots from FootwearStandard and the flats/slippers/whatever from same. There was also some choice masking involved to hide the parts sticking out. Let me tell you, those feet were the second-most annoying part of the project, and I only say that because of the constant unmasking of the leg muscles every time I touched a new body part. My advice is to bug Jeff to put in more animal parts, since I'm now the Editing Widget and don't have the right to harangue him about that stuff anymore :-D Paul-

I've been try to do that for a month! I am hoping Jeff will draw those style legs in HM3. Damien,

Doing so would allow users to give their characters hands while bypassing the left hand/right hand categories, which in turn would not mess-up the "save as PNG" mode. Also, adding just one pair of gloves shouldn't take much of your time. @Jeff: A thought: Add one pair of gloves with a hand part attached (like the whole gloves in HM2.5) to the gloves section.

After the items get pretty much done. Possibly before the female stuff gets converted over, but several months at least. In the meantime there are plenty of other options, including the good old fashioned screen capture, just like you did with 2.x. It's not really a priority at this point since the whole point of the app is to make web-ready images, not print-quality ones. @Danny: No specific timeline, but quite a ways off.
